Snowbird

[Verse 1]
Ducks flying south and the rich man also
Heading for the beaches where the warm gulf winds blow
And I'm leaving too, I can hear that whistle cry
'cause I'm the kind of bird that has to navigate
Tourist class on a southbound freight
But this snowbird is gonna come back by and by

[Verse 2]
'cause the ground's too cold for this poor boy's sandals
People won't stop so I can't panhandle
So goodbye, Denver, I'll see you again next spring
The cop on the beat, he even seems a little friendly
He knows this cold weather's gonna send me
South of Dixie, this snowbird's on the wing

[Bridge]

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
My health's good enough but my wardrobe's thinner
If I don't head south, I'm gonna freeze this winter
So the railroad line is gonna have an unknown guest
I gotta vacate but it's no vacation
When the train slows down in some southern station
You can tell everybody this snowbird's on his nest
Yes, you can tell everybody this snowbird's on his nest
